“Sally was a brilliant trainer; she got us all involved and made the day enjoyable as well as productive. She was clear in her presentation and pace when doing group exercises. Sally made the room a comfortable environment so that everyone could speak out and ask questions during the day.” Feedback from delegate at The University of Kent, March 2013
The art of juggling 19 SEPTEMBER Executive PA Magazine and Kent Trainers
have teamed up with business travel management specialist Corporate Traveller to run a seminar about the art of juggling priorities
We are all internet savvy when it comes to online shopping, but arranging business travel yourself via the web is very different to buying a pair of shoes or booking a holiday. How much time do you spend trawling individual airline and hotel websites for the cheapest flight or best room rate for your boss, when you still have a hundred and one other things to action on your ‘to do’ list. Can you be sure that you have found the best airfare on the most direct route? What about that hotel booking – does it include free breakfast and WiFi? And what if your boss is travelling to China or Russia – they are going to need visas and currency. Traveller security is also high on company agendas these days. How easily can your boss be located if there is an earthquake, ash cloud or terrorist threat? Corporate Traveller specialises in providing expert personal travel services to SME companies. “It’s a myth that
booking your own business travel online will be cheaper as there are countless hidden extras in terms of cancellation or change fees,” comments Graeme Milne, UK General Manager. “But it’s not just about cost savings. It’s about having the right relationship with your travel manager who understands your entire business needs and traveller preferences, freeing you up to focus on other core aspects of your job.”
READER EVENT 1Thursday 19 September 2013 118:30–20.30pm 1Court Suite, Grosvenor House, a JW Marriott Hotel
Sally Jones, Director and Principal at Kent Trainers, will be running a session on the Art of Juggling. Research shows that four out of five PAs have several bosses – which means constantly managing competing priorities and handling conflicting demands. Sally will give you tips and techniques on how to distinguish what’s urgent and how to manage your workload effectively when you have several plates spinning at the same time. Corporate Traveller will be on hand for this special event and running a brief session on how you can save time and money with an expert on board. The 5-star Grosvenor House is set just back from Park Lane and overlooks the sweeping gardens of Royal Hyde Park. Following on from the expert seminars there will be time to network plus drinks and nibbles will be served. Apply to attend at
